Reluctantly returning the baby to Zhi Ning, she said softly, "I'm sorry, I arrived late."
The Commandery Princess Zhi Ning shook her head with a bitter feeling in her heart.
"Did you get hurt?" Suo Lun asked, then looked at the cut on her cheek. It was shallow and wouldn't leave a scar, but there was another cut on her neck, right at the carotid artery.
Suo Lun reached out his hand to gently touch the edge of her wound.
The slight sting, along with Suo Lun's tender caress, made Princess Zhining's heart flutter ever so slightly.
Although she knew she shouldn't feel this way, the fact that Suo Lun only noticed her injuries now made Zhi Ning very distressed.
Would it be the same if Yan Nai'er was injured? Or Suo Ningbing? Or even Gui Qinshu?
"You go upstairs with the child first, and wait outside for me!" Suo Lun said.
Zhi Ning nodded and left with the child.
